Harmeet Dhillon, architect of Trump's failed voter roll crusade, resigns from Justice Department
Democracy Docket reports that Harmeet Dhillon, the Trump ally who led the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division through an unsuccessful crusade for states' unredacted voter rolls — including 27 consecutive district-court defeats — has resigned, with Attorney General Todd Blanche announcing her exit two days after Democrats swept the 2026 midterms and undid the redistricting campaign she helped set in motion. Her tenure shifted the division from protecting voting rights toward investigating voter fraud and intervening in state elections, drawing condemnation from former officials Kristen Clarke and Stacey Young, who say she destroyed the division and drove out most of its lawyers.
